All Chapters of My Mate Become My Hunter : Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Chapter 161CASSIAN'S POV Lyra breaks down the moment I catch her in my arms.Her legs give out beneath her, and the weight of her sends me to my knees. I don’t know what to say—everything we’ve dealt with over the past half an hour is too much to process—so I just hold her and let her cry.“I suppose there’s no point in questioning whether or not that was true,” Wilder says.“Of course it was true,” Lyra says through her tears. “He knew all about my mother. And he was right. We did share the same birthmark. And the way my magic has grown—it makes too much sense. It explains everything.”Milo’s beside us now. I feel his hand on my shoulder, and I’m sure he’s touching her too, trying to calm her. A moment later, her sobs start to subside.“I just can’t believe it,” she whispers.“It’s okay,” I say nonsensically, just because that’s what you say when someone is falling apart.“How is it okay?” she challenges me. “They’re going to take our baby, Cassian. After everything I’ve done—after

Chapter 163LYRA'S POV I’m just starting to relax in my mates’ embrace when pain crashes over me like a wave.For a minute, the only thing I can think of is the baby.But no. It’s not the baby. My baby is still moving inside me—a little more restlessly, perceiving my sudden distress, I think—but not causing it. This is coming from somewhere else.“Lyra?” Milo wraps his arms around me, and only then do I realize that I’ve slumped forward. “Hey. What’s going on? Are you sick?”I grit my teeth and grind the words out. “Something’s wrong—Steele.”“Wilder, what’s wrong with her?” Cassian demands. “You two are linked. What’s going on here?”“She’s not hurt,” he says. “There’s nothing wrong with her. She’s…I think she’s tuning into Steele.”“You can’t feel it?”“It’s like hearing an echo. I can tell something’s not right, but not the same way it would be if she was in pain.”I don’t know what the fuck he’s talking about. I am in pain. I can’t even focus enough to correct him.“Why can she f

Chapter 165LYRA'S POV I feel the power of the moon flowing through me like never before. It’s fueled by my mate’s blood on my hands. It’s fueled by the rage that Lord Enorio—my father—would dare to harm him, would threaten my other mates and the life of my unborn baby. That he would ask me to join him and try to take away everything I love in the same breath.And that he used my mother the way he did, and then discarded her when she became an inconvenience.I can’t forgive any of it, and I want him dead at my hands.I’m distantly aware of the storm kicking its way into the atmosphere over my head, and I know that that storm came from the tempest inside of me. But it feels so good to let it out. It feels like I have it on a leash, and I can direct it anywhere I want it to go.My wolf is at the surface, feeding my wildness, but I know she won’t break through. I have that aspect of myself completely under control too.I have everything under control.I seek out Lord Enorio in the crowd

Chapter 167CASSIAN'S POV I feel the moment the magic the Moon Drinkers are using against me lifts.They’re looking at each other with expressions of panic, as if they don’t know what to make of what’s happening. I don’t know what to make of that. Weren’t they the ones who stopped using magic?“Cassian,” Steele calls in a strangled tone. “Milo. Wilder.”I turn, searching for him—He’s holding Lyra. She’s panting and staring at a body lying prone on the ground. And suddenly, I recognize who it is.Lord Enorio.He’s dead.The rest of them must have felt it. That’s why they stopped fighting.I snarl at them, and they all back away. Without their leader, they’re afraid to keep fighting us.“Run away now, and we’ll let you go,” Wilder says in a carrying voice. “Or stay here, and we’ll end you, one by one.”A few of them are quick to turn and run. But some linger, clearly trying to decide whether or not to continue the fight.I lunge at one of them, snapping, and he trips over himself, jum

Chapter 169WILDER'S POV “One more day should do it,” Cassian says. “I think we’ll be back home by tonight.”“I honestly feel fine,” Lyra says. “We could have traveled faster. Milo healed me so well that you’d never know I just gave birth.”“Yeah, well, don’t push it,” Cassian says. “You’ll have plenty of opportunities to run around, but for now, we want to make sure you’re completely healed.”“Besides, we can’t race home with the babies,” Milo says. “And then there’s Steele to think about.”“What about me?” Steele demands.“You’re slow,” Milo says amiably. “And you’ve never lived wild before, so you don’t know how to be quiet. You stomp through the woods like an elephant.”“Keep shit talking and I’m going to creep up on you when you’re sleeping and dump water over your head. You’ll never hear me coming.”“Please,” Milo says. “Nothing has ever crept up on me sleeping. I wake up when the wind blows.”“Well, I can be as stealthy as a shadow when I want to be. Don’t forget, I’m the one
